Koa Misi, second-round Miami outside linebacker. The Dolphins dealt the 12th pick in the draft to San Diego for the 28th (defensive end Jared Odrick) and 40th (Misi) picks, and after one minicamp, it looks like both will be starting. The Dolphins allowed their two aging sackers, Joey Porter and Jason Taylor, to walk this offseason. They researched the heck out of the college football pass-rush lineup. Though they liked Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan, there wasn't unanimous support for him among the scouts and front office, so Miami traded down, recouped the second-round pick lost in the Brandon Marshall trade with Denver, and took Misi with that pick. He's vital to what Miami will do on defense.

Misi will make a nice impact next season... I have a good feeling about him

Re: Peter King: Koa Misi will be vital to Miami's defense

i will be that 1 to agree with you. i think that if we could bualk up PAT that he should be a real threat i like the thaught of PAT WHITE being in on the offense

but to the real topic here i think MISI is gonna be a BEAST along with a few others ROOKIE PLAYERS that i realy like & will have lots a play time as rookies. i am very excited about our new & tweaked defense

Misi only has 10.5 sacks in his college career. Not sure if he is the answer at OLB for us.

He might be the next Matt Roth. But no more than that. Hope I'm wrong

Re: Peter King: Koa Misi will be vital to Miami's defense

He seems more of a all around (lb) not just a pass rusher. I think thats why they got him and not Kindell form Texas. Misi looks like he can play the pass and the run very well and wont take a lot of time to show it on the field. As far as him becoming like Matt R. I don't see it, Matt was (de) all the way. While he did show some flashes at (lb) it wasn't for him, Misi did play some (de) but he is most deff a (lb) at this level.
